Mr. Hoffman to Mr. Fish.

Fish, Secretary, Washington:

Lord Derby asks if district court has power to try Lawrence for crimes not named in warrant? If so, withdraws proposal for arrangement. Sees no remedy except in act of Congress. Proposes to renew negotiations for new treaty. States that Winslow must be released May second. Copy note sent to-day.

HOFFMAN,
Chargé.
